Er was een man uit de Farizee\u00ebn, Nicodemus geheten, een Joodse leider. Deze man kwam 's nachts naar Jezus en zei tegen Hem: 'Rabbi, wij weten dat U een leraar bent die van God gekomen is; want niemand kan de wonderen doen die U doet, tenzij God met hem is.'\u201c
Johannes 3:1-2<\/strong>
<\/em><\/p>

Nicodemus was tot de Heer Jezus aangetrokken door de wonderen die hij Hem zag verrichten. Hij was waarschijnlijk een van degenen die aan het einde van hoofdstuk twee worden genoemd.
\u201cToen Hij tijdens het Paasfeest in Jeruzalem was, geloofden velen in Zijn naam toen zij de wonderen zagen die Hij deed. Maar Jezus vertrouwde Zichzelf niet aan hen toe, want Hij kende alle mensen en had er geen behoefte aan dat iemand van een mens zou getuigen, want Hij wist wat er in de mens omging\u201d (Johannes 2:23-25).<\/p>

Ons wordt verteld dat Nicodemus een Farizee\u00ebr was \u2013 een van de bewakers van de Wet \u2013 maar er is nog een andere beschrijving die hem door het hele Evangelie van Johannes volgt: hij kwam 's nachts naar Jezus. Dit detail wordt minstens drie keer genoemd (Johannes 3:2; 7:50; 19:39). Daarom hebben sommigen hem een geheime discipel van de Heer genoemd. Na de dood van Jezus was Nicodemus echter niet langer geheim. Hij identificeerde zich openlijk met hen die stonden voor de gekruisigde \u2013 maar opgestane \u2013 Christus.<\/p>

In onze passage zegt de Heer Jezus tegen hem: \u201cVoorwaar, voorwaar, Ik zeg u: wie niet opnieuw geboren wordt, kan het koninkrijk van God niet zien\u201d (Johannes 3:3). Deze uitspraak verbaasde Nicodemus: \u201cHoe kan een mens geboren worden als hij oud is? Kan hij dan voor de tweede keer de baarmoeder van zijn moeder ingaan en geboren worden?\u201d (vers 4). Jezus antwoordde toen: \u201cVoorwaar, voorwaar, Ik zeg u: wie niet geboren wordt uit water en Geest, kan het koninkrijk van God niet binnenkomen. Wat uit het vlees geboren is, is vlees, en wat uit de Geest geboren is, is geest. Verwonder u er niet over dat Ik u gezegd heb: \u2018U moet opnieuw geboren worden.\u2019 De wind waait waarheen hij wil, en u hoort het geluid ervan, maar u weet niet waar hij vandaan komt en waar hij heen gaat. Zo is het ook met ieder die uit de Geest geboren is\u201d (verzen 5-8).<\/p>

Hier onthult de Heer Jezus hoe iedereen \u201cvan bovenaf geboren wordt\u201d. Deze wedergeboorte komt door het water \u2013 dat het Woord van God vertegenwoordigt (Efezi\u00ebrs 5:26; 1 Petrus 1:23) \u2013 en door de Geest van God. In zijn ontmoeting met Christus leerde Nicodemus dat de wedergeboorte volledig het werk van God is. Het wordt niet bereikt door uiterlijke prestaties, maar ontvangen door een wedergeboorte van bovenaf.<\/p>

Voor meer inzicht in deze waarheid kunt u de volgende passages overwegen: 1 Petrus 1:3; Romeinen 6:11; Efezi\u00ebrs 2:4; en Jakobus 1:17-18.<\/p>

Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong>
De wedergeboorte is het resultaat van het soevereine werk van de Heilige Geest, die door de duisternis heen breekt waarin we verdwaald waren en het licht van genade in onze harten laat schijnen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
